The Wizards will look to put an embarrassing loss to the Orlando Magic, which featured a 52-point scoring outburst from John Wall, in their rearview mirror as they host the Denver Nuggets Thursday night. Washington is very fragile right now and a home loss to the Nuggets who’ll be playing on the second half of a back-to-back might be the tipping point for a season that feels like it’s ready to spiral out of control.
The Nuggets enter the game as the second-best offensive rebounding team in the NBA corralling 12.7 misses per game. They’re the best in the league when it comes to grabbing boards on both ends, grabbing 53.
